 * Normally, we cannot use Wikipedia as a reference. But 1939 in the United States is a weird sort of list article where nearly every entry contains links to one or more other Wikipedia articles and does not need a footnote. The footnote pointing to the Einstein–Szilard letter for the August 2 entry is just a mistake, since that article is already linked with a "pipe" to the word "writes". You can remove it.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 04:05, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Mistake in chemical name
In this edit, one of your main goals was to fix some square-brackets. In this context, they are not a wikilink, but instead are like parentheses. One open goes with one close. And in this specific case, there is nesting, so there are two single-square-opens, each of which has a balanced single-square-close:
 * 2-4-oxiran-2-ylmethoxymethylcyclohexylmethoxymethyloxirane

This sort of situation is common in chemical names. I am not sure if there is a way to teach your proofreading tool to skip that sort of change when an article is in a certain category (or subcat of a major parent). But the key here is that the nesting open/close pairs are matched. DMacks (talk) 04:40, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick fix! DMacks (talk) 05:50, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
